Method for making an abrasive tool

ABSTRACT

An abrasive material is formed by uniformly spacing particles of diamond or other hard, abrasive material, on a carrier embedding the particles in the carrier, and fixing the particles to the carrier with the particles protruding from the carrier to perform the abrasive action. The particles can be distributed by placing them in the openings of a mesh and the mesh is then removed. Since the carrier may be flexible, the carrier can be shaped to conform to substrates of complex shapes. A plurality of carriers having different concentrations can be bonded together to form tools having varying concentrations. &lt;IMAGE&gt;
